Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptical and Structure Analysis of ZnO:Al FilmNeilo Marcos Trindade, Michel Chaves, José Roberto Ribeiro Bortoleto et al.ZnO and ZnO:Al are wide-bandgap semiconductors which have many applications, mainly as transparent conducting films. Thin films of these compounds were deposited onto glass and silicon substrates by RF magnetron sputtering for the investigation of structural and optical characteristics. The XRD results show that the films present wurtzite structure. The formation of a polycrystalline film having a preferential crystallographic orientation … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 5 Oct 2017 · 7,855 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Mechanical Properties of Glass Fiber/Talc/CaCO3 Filled Recycled PP CompositesUğur Soy, Fehim Findik, Salih Hakan Yetgin et al.Until now, recycling studies brought to the agenda after the rapid increasing of plastic materials in every area and causing those plastics to environmental pollution after discarding them following the utilization. The purpose of recycling plastic waste is to minimize environmental pollution and to create of new resources. To perform the present study, Recycled Polypropylene Granules (RPP) belonging to Polypropylene … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 9 · 15 Aug 2017 · 9,364 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVulnerability and Protection of Glass Windows and Facades under Blast: Experiments, Methods and Current TrendsXihong Zhang, Chiara BedonGlass has been overwhelmingly used for windows and facades for modern constructions. Nevertheless, due to its relatively low tensile strength and mostly brittle behaviour, compared to other structural members, glass windows/facades are one of the most fragile components for a building envelop that are always associated with vast casualties in a blast incident. Several researches have been carried out to … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 24 Jul 2017 · 14,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProperties of ZnO:Ga Thin Films Deposited by dc Magnetron Sputtering: Influence of Ga-Doped Concentrations on Structural and Optical PropertiesPutut Marwoto, Edy Wibowo, Dwi Suprayogi et al.ZnO:Ga thin films were deposited on corning glass by dc magnetron sputtering. Influence of Ga-doped concentrations on the structural and optical properties of ZnO:Ga thin films were investigated. The XRD patterns show that the crystallinity of deposited films improved with the increase of Ga concentrations from 1 to 2%, then decrease at 3% Ga concentrations. The optical transmittance of films … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 14 Dec 2016 · 7,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreliminary Experimental and Finite-Element Numerical Assessment of the Structural Performance of SMA-Reinforced GFRP SystemsFilipe Amarante dos Santos, Chiara BedonIn this study, the feasibility and potentiality of a novel design concept is explored by means of small scale experimental tests and Finite-Element numerical simulation. Taking advantage of the intrinsic potentiality of Shape-Memory Alloys wires able to work as adaptive actuators when subjected to joule heating, a 'smart-GFRP' concept consisting in Glass-Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer (GFRP) structural members with a SMA reinforcement is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 8,289 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTRUCTURAL AND OPTICAL STUDIES OF CONDUCTING PANI/CuS NANOCOMPOSITES ON NANOCRYSTALLINE ZINC-OXIDE THIN FILMM. A. Sangamesha, K. Pushpalatha, G. L. ShekarIn this article, a p-n heterostructure diode was developed by incorporating the synthesised nanocomposite of CuS/PANI into the hallow network of ZnO thin film deposited on the glass substrate, which hitherto not reported. Analyses of the obtained heterostructure were carried out using XRD, FT-IR, UV-Visible and SEM. The penetration, bonding and the interaction of the nanocomposite with ZnO was investigated … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 15 Aug 2014 · 7,044 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Triethanolamine on the Chemical Bath Deposited NiS Thin FilmsAnuar Kassim, Ho Soon Min, Tan Wee Tee, Ngai Chee FeiProblem statement: Recently, many scientists looking for new chalcogenide materials for the solar cell applications. Nowadays, silicon-based solar cell became dominant products in the market. Because of expensive silicon-based solar cells, scientists hope replaces it with cheaper chalcogenide materials. Approach: The binary chalcogenide materials were deposited onto microscope glass slide using simple chemical bath deposition method. Here, we study the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeating Effects on Structural and Electrical Properties of PolyetherimideNissaf Mzabi, Hichem Smaoui, Hajer Guermazi et al.Problem statement: Polyetherimide (PEI) has several uses such as electrical insulation. It can undergo different constraints like heat or high voltage which influence its performances as insulator. In this study, the effects of heating on structural and electrical properties of polyetherimide (Ultem 1000) are studied. Approach: PEI samples were heated at different temperatures below the glass transition temperature (175, 190 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,550 accessesView PDFCite
